This week’s episode features Meltem’s Algan. Her wellness journey led to Welcomley, a company she founded during the pandemic. Wellness for her meant finding the courage to admit she had an alcohol addiction and bravely moving forward to ask for help. Learn about what she did and continues to do to achieve a healthy well being on a daily basis.
My favourite Meltem quotes:
“On May 19th 2020, I decided to get sober."
"There is one thing that is really standing In the way of me being a) happy b) productive and c) healthy and it is alcohol and if I cut alcohol on its own and just abstain from alcohol that’s not gonna cut it. There is an underlying issue here and I have to put myself into a program, I need to work on my physical and mental health."
"I had to reprogram my brain into thinking look, you were not operating at your best, heres' a program that is introducing a new way of life and a new way of thinking, you need to be open to it..once I was able to open my mind to it, I found different ways to form my own understanding of spirituality and spiritual connection."
“Your inability to sit still, to not check out for 5-10min is a good indicator that you might be using something as a crutch to keep the noise level up around you..when you start trying to control your check out method, there might be a reason you are holding on to that try and seek even free guidance at first."
(on meditation) "10min of just resetting your mind, of pure clarity..changes the course of your day."
